Awesome drive

Ths car is a head turner as it is the only one in the city I live in. Celica convertibles were never imported into Canada so its very unique. It has 250,000 miles on it and runs like new. overall just a pleasure to drive

A looker

I like that my car gets looks everywhere, and has incredible styling (i own a liftback gt), and for its age has a good reliable motor, and can be quick if i put the foot down. Things i don't like are things that came with its age. Little parts will need replacing more than a newer car, will occasionally overheat if it is very hot out and idles too much, and you can't always drive it hard or it shows it s hurting, you have to try to drive it nicely and have fun with it when you can.

My little silver starship...

I love my car & I wouldn't drive anything else! Why take a chance w/something else? I've driven this car through mountains, snow & almost any adverse climactic conditions you may be able to suggest...I've never been given any reason to doubt this cars durability.
